Government notifies amendment to LPG control order to facilitate consumers opting for PNG connections

• The Liquefied Petroleum Gas (Regulation of Supply and Distribution) Amendment Order, 2026 was notified on 25 May 2026 by the Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas to ease the dual-connection (LPG + Piped Natural Gas/PNG) regime for domestic consumers.
• Consumers obtaining PNG can either terminate the LPG connection within 30 days or take a "transfer voucher" allowing future restoration in non-PNG areas.
• Examinable as a policy nudge that aligns LPG demand management with the City Gas Distribution (CGD) expansion drive and India's clean-cooking transition.
